Learning

Higher education is essential for promoting the exchange of knowledge and innovation, and equipping youth with the 21st-century skills necessary to succeed in global labor markets

Investments in local colleges and universities help expand pre-service teacher education programs and advance innovations that better prepare teachers to help students learn.

Despite significant increases in literacy rates since the first International Literacy Day in 1967, children from vulnerable and marginalized families continue to demonstrate significantly lower literacy rates.

USAID’s vision is a world where partner country education systems enable all children and youth to acquire the education and skills needed to be productive members of society.

Every year, the global community comes together to celebrate International Literacy Day on September 8. Literacy for all is fundamental to learning, paving the way for access to inclusive education.

The partners’ goal is to create an educational children's TV program about the environment and conservation that also includes outreach activities through schools, youth groups, communities, and conservation hubs.

Investments in education serve as a foundation and driver for a country’s broader economic and social development.

In recognition of World Youth Skills Day, explore some of the most vital resources that guide our teams and partners in designing, implementing and measuring programming that gives young people the tools they need to gain employment, reach their potential, and become engaged in their communities.
